This is kind of a long story but I need some help. My mom recently had to move out of her house and into a much smaller place. I took 2 of her Rocker recliners and had them setting in a space in my house right near the living room until I could get rid of a couple of our old chairs. I had them covered with a sheet to keep them clean.
My dogs have climbed on them, ran by them and in general ignored them for weeks. NOW FOR THE PROBLEM.
Just last week I finally got rid of my husbands old recliner because it was horrible and replaced it with one of the chairs from mom's place. It seems like since I made that change one of my chihuahua's (Giacomo) refuses to go into the chair with my husband. He won't climb up for petting or anything else. Now Giacomo will ONLY sit on my chair which is the same chair I always had. Prior to this he was always a daddy's dog!!!
This really bothers my husband because he misses his dog. It appears that Giacomo does not want daddy to have the new chair. Any ideas??
We have tried petting and talking to him and even treats. He will snatch the treat and then run off and if he feels like your going to force anything he goes completely outside and just sits with his tail down!
